Royal slave: chapter 15
James' POV
I finished my tale and waited for a respsons. Jasmine's mother had a thoughtfull expression. "past the woods...that nice old widow that lives in that mansion?" She asked and i nodded. "yes, i know where that is." She said. "you do?" I asked and now it was her turn to nod. "can you take me home then? i really miss my mom and dad." I said. "of course i can!" She said and smiled. "really? thank you!" I yelled and hugged her. She giggled and hugged back. "i'll take you through a path in the woods. that way i can show you a short way to here. after all, you're Jasmin's first friend." Jasmine's mother said. "the forest?" I asked and lowered my ears upon hearing that. I didn't want to go back through it after last night. "oh don't worry, it's a path that's used alot. so you won't have to travel it alone." She said with a smile and i smiled back in agreement.
Soon enough i was sitting in a neat carriage along with Jasmine, her mother and her father. Her mother had told everything to her father and he agreed to accompanying me home along with his wife and daughter. They were really nice poeple. I had never imagined royals doing this for a low slave like me. So i was very pleasantly surprised. Just like her mother, Jasmine's father was also a very nice person. And he loved to make jokes.
We were having alot of fun on the way to my home. I was so excited to see my mother and father again. All the joking and my excitement made this journey so much more shorter. Much to my relief.
Eleon's POV
I was sitting on the couch in the parlor. I had been crying the whole time. My lover and our mistress tried to calm me, but it didn't work. They weren't able to comfort me or calm me down. "oh dear, i'm sure that he will come home very soon." Our mistress said. "but...he's already been gone for a whole night." I sobbed and added. "he's all alone out there. frightened and alone." I sobbed. Edward held me close and stroked my hair.
"mistress!" A servant yelled and bursted in the room. "what's wrong?" The mistress asked standing up as she became panicked. "t-the king...the king is outside." The servant said panicking just like the mistress did. "the king?" She said and ran outside to greet the royal. She came back very quickly and called for us. We stood up from the couch and walked out to the front of the door.
We walked out and all of a sudden i felt a pair of small arms around me. We looked down." James!" I yelled bending down and wrapped my arms around him. "mommy!" He yelled and hugged me very tightly. "i was so worried." I said and stroked his quills. Edward went down to his knees aswell and hugged our son close also. "i'm so glad your back home. that's all that matters now. that your save and sound with us again." My lover said pulling away from James and stroking his quills before holding him close again.
